[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5078165, member: 52734"] I do some self-publishing on RPGDriveThruStuff. Cost is definitely the primary factor. It takes a decent investment to put together and promote game material, and its very hard to predict how well it will do. Adventures are really iffy - you have to hit on the right theme and present just the right challenges to get people to even look at what you're trying to sell. If the storyline doesn't match the game you're running or doesn't feel like its something the buyer could have "thought up themselves", the adventure won't be bought. If the adventure isn't challenging enough or it's too difficult, people won't buy any more adventures from you. It's far easier to just present the frameworks - books of monsters, races, classes and other plug-in tools. About the only thing that sells worse than adventures are campaign worlds. P.S.: I have come to realize that (illustrated) monster books are the worst at getting a good return on your investment. [/QUOTE]
